September 15, 2023 - This pours very pale garnet, with heavy bricking. The nose on this is just gorgeous showing spiced leather, animal fur, charcoal, burnt orange peel, dried cranberry, dried red cherry, incense, cedar mulch, nori, sandalwood, and cured meat. The palate is lovely and elegant but also with power showing pure raspberry and burnt orange peel. Tannin is low and acid is high. The finish closes harmoniously on mineral, nori, and burnt orange peel. Just a stunning wine that actually improved with air, and despite the ultra light color came across as quite powerful. Just a gorgeous bottle of old Grand Cru Burgundy.

February 9, 2019 - From a group purchase of several solid cases from auction years ago - arrived in cardboard boxes labelled "Rossignol-Trapet" with fairly pristine "Trapet" labels affixed so I'm thinking this was part of the divided estate (1990?) that left the original Trapet cellars and therefore was not released commercially until after the divided. Perhaps accounts for the excellent condition as all the bottles I've opened have been in. This bottle showed some sediment a few days before when I stood it up. Once decanted, the wine was very clear showing color tones of onion skin with pink underneath. A bit of reduction that blew off with 30 minutes in the decanter. Quite savory on the nose with good, albeit mature, fruit on the palate. This might have matured as much on acidity as tannins but was quite balanced and delicious last night.

October 15, 2018 - [Atlanta Tastevin Burgs and Burgers Paulee’]: Pale brown-red, tasted old, raisins, with that bit of rubber I taste (personally) in older reds. Remarkably, still had a bit of fruit there. Hard to evaluate this mellowed grand dame in the cacophony of a Paulee’ but memorably good.

June 23, 2017 - Musique & Vin Festival BYO Dinner (Château de Meursault): Small glass, brief note. Ripe black fruit, still going strong. Good+ intensity and charm with rich sausage on finish. Very good.
